I googled my whole email address and found that the only entries that showed
up were reviews that I had written for bookshare.
I, personally, don't consider this an infringement of my rights. If I had
wanted to stay completely private I wouldn't have posted the reviews in the
first place. I just thought it was interesting. Who would've thunk.

It seems doubtful to me that you could read the messages by doing a Google
search only because you are subscribed. After all, how would Google know
whether or not you were subscribed to this list?
I just looked under my own name and was able to read messages I posted here,
as well as the postings of others. But the email addresses are mostly blocked
out, so someone can't just do a search on you and get your email address from
looking through the messages you posted here.
That's not to say that there may not be other mailing lists where the
addresses are not blocked out, or that there aren't other ways to easily get
hold of someone's email address, not to mention lots of other personal data,
including unlisted phone numbers for that matter, which I have been able to
find, but not from messages posted to Bookshare lists. But anyone can certainly
very easily read what people post here just by googling your name.

I'm not saying this list is accessible, but many lists are.
I know I am able to read any posts on this list by just googling, but I
don't know if it's because I'm subscribed.
